JK Rowling says 'Harry Potter' ending may be wrong

Many fans hoped Hermoine Granger and Harry Potter would become a couple

LONDON — “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling is having second thoughts about having ended the series with heroine Hermione Granger paired up romantically with Ron Weasley.

The hugely successful author tells Wonderland magazine she chose the red-haired Ron for Hermione for very personal reasons having little to do with literature.

She told the magazine she “wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment” and said the couple might eventually need relationship counseling.

The soon-to-be published interviewed was reported in The Sunday Times, which also quoted actress Emma Watson, who played Hermione, expressing doubts about the viability of her character’s relationship with Ron.

She told the newspaper that many fans doubt Ron can make Hermione happy over time.

i,or one liked the ending for it neatly accomplished what Ms. Rowling desired at the time; a specific ending. this would make it difficult for future authors to "continue this "Fab Foursome"s trials, and future adventures in the style of the original author. However, that being said; I can understand (and sympathize) with Rowling's musings and reflections; could it be that she wishes to continue their story from the personal , and social perception of where she is today?

You are right. Ms. Rowling wrote the ending and although I was surprised and disappointed at first I came to enjoy the coupling of Harry and Jenny, Ron and Hermione. I hope Ms. Rowling continues to write her stories the way she wants to.
